4 Days in the Arctic - Crabbing, Hunting & Fishing Alaska

what do you think of that king crab? It's amazing, it has the sweetest and cleanest. Try the meat of any crab I've ever eaten and there's so much just the meat from one segment of the leg is more than several blue crabs Marilyn look at that, look at that piece of body meat, it's huge, oh I have to go. wash my hands oh, that was the best crab I've ever had, it was really good, well, it's getting late, but there's one more thing I want to do. I want to go buy a ULU knife. Do you want to take the truck or the snow machine? snow machineshe just barks my crab look at a couple oh that's cute yeah look at these I only buy exotic wood and acrylic these are stainless steel and this is a saw blade yeah that smooth one this is the one my friend Willie Hogendorn makes So These here are ULU knives, traditional Alaska Native knife, well, thank you very much, Wilson.

I appreciate the problem. Hey Nathan, where did you buy a beautiful handmade ULU knife? I am very excited to use this and they gave me a ton of ground MUSC beef. I'm going to make burgers with this. It's going to be great. Come on, it's been another wonderful day, but I'm tired and sore. I'm going to take some Advil, go to bed and I'll see you. Very early, well, good morning, Nathan, should we have breakfast? Okay, stopping every once in a while and listening, we can hear some and they're very far away, although oh, I have one here, okay, come here, look at this, there are some fox tracks. you go and there we go, look at this, we have two of them, well, we passed the snow machine where we got stuck the other day and we're off to a great start.

I think we're going to have a lot of them, Nathan, yeah, there's a big Moose on that hillside up there 1 2 3 4 five six moose right here look, that's a mom moose with a calf right there look how she has hair on her back. back of the neck up and ears back means she's mad because she doesn't do it like us, she thinks we're going to hurt her baby, so let's get out of here from this old cabin with a couple of graves outside, look at the cross, we can see it right there, you see it, it's still standing there, oh, look at the ones inside. the tree starts shooting, yeah, they'll let you shoot a lot with the 22.

Look, hold still, my quarry is yours buddy, there you go, hey Nathan, high five, oh, here's the one I got. We did it, good job buddy, a shotgun and a 22 are a deadly combo with the Tagan hunt, if you see him on the ground the guy with the 22 scope can try to take them out and if they start flying the shotgun can do them right , our bags are filling up, oh, it turned out. Much better than expected, but now we are high in the mountains and we don't see as many Tagan or Tagan tracks, so I think we could turn around and go back to the valley, in reverse, something happened. our snow machine got stuck in reverse you pressed reverse and nothing happens it says it's in reverse but it still goes forward and just makes this annoying beep.

I don't know what to do about it, but yes, I have it. There are two more up there. Go on, buddy, grab your feet, uhhuh, okay, oh, so Nathan's barrel got stuck in the snow. You have to clean it. If you try to shoot a gun that has ice, snow, or mud in the barrel, it can cause the barrel to break. to explode, okay, I think we're wide open, see it, it's moving when there are these huge flocks of like a hundred, as soon as one takes off they all take off, so it's hard to close it, okay, oh, that was a bit . to the left, more towards me, this is as if I saw that there is one right there, indeed, it is another huge flock, the hammer of my shotguns is wearing out.

I've had it twice and the bullets didn't fire because the PIN was missing. I didn't hit the bait hard enough oh yeah you're right Nathan there's just loads of them up there yeah there we go we've got another one this is actually the state bird of Alaska this is a willow tarmigan this one bird is brown in the summer and then in the. In winter it changes to white. Look, he has feathers on his toes to protect him from the cold. Here we go. We have two. That is. Hey buddy, did you have fun? Yeah, well, we're out of time, but I need to clean up some birds real quick.

Holy mackerel, we have nine birds, so this here is what's inside all the Tagan, these are the tips of the willows, that's what they eat, this is how they survive in the winter, a big bag of mackerel meat. Tagan, what are you doing out here? reno, what are you doing out of here? pen rinder are domesticated caribou, stay out of TR, it's about 18 miles on a snow machine, court, that wind is getting colder, there are a lot of Alaska Natives in this part of the state that carve ivory and I want to go see one of the guys here supposed to be pretty good at it hi Andrew, this is my son Nathan Nathan hi, how are you buddy?

I was working this morning, oh, look at these big old walrus tusks in the skull, right there look. on the I have the smallest female of the shapers oh wow this is a fossilized SP here oh yeah wow is this the most Foss F we have oh that's cool yeah you can't sell it unless you're an Alaskan native right? Sell ​​it raw or Can't you sell it well? It has to be worked by a native when we harvest them or you find them on the beach. Mhm, you have to get these tusks tagged by someone who is a W Tusk tagger.

You know there are some towns. Look. that, oh, those are sniff oh, that's a nice color, yeah, I'll tell you what if you have some time and you want to sand off some of the fossilized di. Would you like to try it, yes, all of them, come on, work faster, work faster, yes, that's it. a great shine, so you have a couple of pieces of Yellow Sea Glass that they are putting on the bottom of the fossilized Wallers.
